Throughout history, Black people have undergone profound transformations, navigating cycles of oppression, resistance, and resurgence. As we approach the vernal equinox, a time of balance and renewal, we must also recognize our own heliacal rising—a reawakening of consciousness, identity, and power.
The phrase They’re Not Like Us speaks to the widening divide between those who seek true enlightenment and those content with complacency. It is not merely about cultural differences but a deeper realization that not all within our community are aligned with the collective elevation of our people. Some embrace ignorance, distraction, and destruction, while others rise toward wisdom, unity, and purpose.
The Cosmic Alignment: Vernal Equinox and Heliacal Rising
The vernal equinox marks a moment of equilibrium—where day and night are equal—symbolizing balance within nature and, metaphorically, within ourselves. For Black people, this celestial event holds significance beyond the physical realm. It represents a time to realign with ancestral knowledge, reconnect with our divine purpose, and shed the illusions imposed upon us.
The concept of heliacal rising refers to the first visible appearance of a star after a period of being hidden by the sun’s glare. Spiritually, this mirrors our journey as a people. Despite centuries of suppression, we are now emerging once again, reclaiming our rightful place in the world. Just as ancient civilizations understood the movements of the heavens to guide their growth, we must use this moment to reclaim our destiny.
A People in Transition: Breaking Mental and Social Chains
We discussed how, despite external oppression, the greatest battle lies within. The conditioning imposed upon Black people—through media, education, and economic disenfranchisement—has created artificial ceilings that limit our potential. However, just as the stars inevitably rise, so too must we break free from mental enslavement.
This shift requires a deliberate shedding of toxic mindsets:
Rejecting the Need for Validation – Too often, Black progress is measured by acceptance within systems that were never designed for our empowerment. True success lies in self-sufficiency and community-driven advancement.
Understanding Energy and Frequency – Many among us vibrate at a lower frequency, immersed in chaos, materialism, and self-destruction. To rise, we must operate on higher wavelengths—where knowledge, unity, and purpose define our existence.
Recognizing the Divide – The uncomfortable truth is that not all skinfolk are kinfolk. There are those who actively hinder progress, whether out of ignorance, personal gain, or allegiance to external forces. Recognizing this distinction is crucial for building a movement that thrives.
Moving Forward: A Call to Conscious Action
The time of waiting is over. The vernal equinox calls for balance, and our heliacal rising demands that we step into our power. Black people must focus on building institutions, protecting our narratives, and fostering intergenerational wisdom. Just as celestial bodies align to create new seasons, we must align in purpose to shape our own future.
We spoke about so much in this live stream, but at its core, the message remains the same: It is time for elevation. The dawn of a new era is upon us. Some will rise. Others will remain in darkness.
The question is—where will you stand?
